ARTIST TALK: THE GUERRILLA GIRLS | 6:30 pm

A member of the Guerrilla Girls takes the audience through how the group came up with some of their many posters, books (The Guerrilla Girls Bedside Companion to the History of Western Art; Bitches, Bimbos and Ballbreakers: The Guerrilla Girls' Guide to Female Stereotypes) and actions about discrimination in art, film, and politics.
She will also perform skits with the audience, and speak about how the group invaded the Oscars with billboard and sticker campaigns on discrimination in Hollywood. And she'll tell all about their 17-foot posters in the 2005 Venice Biennale, Istanbul, Athens and Mexico City.
Presented in conjunction with the exhibition The Deconstructive Impulse: Women Artists Reconfigure the Signs of Power, 1973-1991.
The Girls are quippy as well as lippy.
They are the Fun-Guard of feminism.
—Ginny Dougary, The Times (London)
